Too bright and metallic for my taste and I really dislike when I cant see the base color vinyl on a toy. Also, you might want to differentiate yourself from the other one million dudes that paint with that monster kolor palette, since they all look the same and one doesnt know who does what.

BUT, its all about getting the hang of it and finding your style, so kudos to you and the paint app itself looks very good specially for a 4th custom. I wish you the best of luck! :D

yeah, i will echo some of the sentiments above.

i am bored to tears of all metallic customs
i would definitely like to see some of the original vinyl showing through

that said- i think its a decent paint job. a non metallic base would be great, and keep the gold metallic accents. if you are going to keep it as is, i might suggest bringing some gold into the face.

its a cool toy, and your paint managed to accent the nice parts of the toy, as opposed to a rainbow fade or whatever. keep it up- if you make any changes to this id be interested in seeing them

Thanks man, now that i think about it, opauqe paint or glossy might make it seem a little more realistic, but for now i will try to add a little bit of gold accents to the face, cuz otherwise might gon have to strip it down and start all over again, lol, either that or im gonna have to find me a new unpainted Salama. :oops:
